There’s a different kind of table set up at Hollywood Casino in Columbus this week, and it’s meant to help those who are battling a gambling addiction or who might be at risk.
The table, set up by Maryhaven, is located not far from some of the casino’s games. It has resources with information for those who may need help.
“This is where problems do accrue,” problem gambling counselor and Administrative Coordinator of the Gambling Intervention Program at Maryhaven Abdullah Mahmood said. “We’re here at the forefront. The majority of Ohioans can gamble without any sort of problem; however, there’s a small minority of Ohioans that do develop problem gambling somewhere.”
